It's amazing how quickly the days go by. It's already Saturday again! How did that happen?
1.) I love creating new characters on my new FantaMorph program.
2.) I WON the July Critique Giveaway over at Marcia Hoehne's blog. Thank you, Marcia!
3.) I'm going to go out and about today and do some window-shopping and actual shopping-shopping, which I love.
4.) I could go to Staples every day and just hang out, checking out their pens, paper, craft supplies, etc.
5.) I find that I am absolutely tired by Saturday, and really enjoy sleeping in an extra hour on my weekend.
6.) Coffee is the one thing that keeps my brain from melting.
Don't forget, there's a contest going on right now over at Cat's Mathoms. You can't win the little writing buddy unless you enter, so let's see some of those submissions!

Me: Fantasy Writer
My favourite type of writing is fantasy. I love to write really in-depth fantasy, the kind that takes a lot of thought and plotting to make it believable. I think that's just my perfectionist nature coming out. I can't stand to write something that just doesn't make sense.
My favourite fantasy tales are the kinds with dramatic conflicts and climaxes. I enjoy the tame, romping tales like "Bedknobs and Broomsticks" or "Dealing with Dragons". But my heart really gets captured in the tales of "Lord of the Rings" or "The Riddlemaster of Hed", where there is a world at stake if Good fails.
I also really appreciate Orson Scott Card. I believe he mainly writes science-fiction, a genre I'd like to explore later on in my writing life, but he makes excellent pointers on how to craft the perfect fantasy world. I heartily recommend his book to any serious sci-fi/fantasy writer. It is called "How to Write Science Fiction and Fantasy," and I believe all fantasy writers...heck, even all writers!...will thorougly enjoy it.
Don't forget, there's a contest going on right now! Head on over to Cat's Mathoms and check it out. Enter! Submit! You could be the winner of the one-of-a-kind Writing Buddy. (hint hint)
